Reports have claimed Liverpool have been given a massive boost in their chase for Borussia Dortmund star Neven Subotic, according to the Daily Express website.

Sometimes left in Mts Hummels’ shadow, Subotic has been no minor player in Dortmund’s defensive solidity in recent years. The Bundesliga club were desperate to tie the Serbian to a new deal, particularly with Hummels looking likely to leave.

However, Subotic has made no secret of his desire to play in the Premier League one day and may see Jurgen Klopp’s departure as the chance for him to make his own fresh start in England.
